You are in my prayers Brother. You obviously have a relationship with our Lord, that supercedes religion, or mortal understanding. It's always a difficult thing to leave loved ones, but once you are with the Father, and playin' steel for him, and watching him smile on you, time will pass quickly, and you will be reunited with family and friends, before you know it.

"God only cries for the living". _ Diamond Rio

God has blessed you Brother, and I look forward to meeting you in person one of these days.
